Emma {9 months}

Denver, NC  Child Photography

Love watching this little Emma grow…and I cannot believe she is already 9 months old! Since it was quite cold the day of her session I assumed she may be grumpy, but too my surprise this lil girl was over the moon happy. She smiled and laughed the entire time.  We couldn’t have asked for a better baby! Enjoy!

3 BROTHERS + SNOW DAY

{personal}

Charlotte, NC  personal lifestyle photography

We rarely, if ever, get snow here in Charlotte but a few weeks ago we defied the odds and the snow fairy brought our three boys a pretty heavy snow storm! I had to post a few fun pics for everyone to enjoy! ps- I’m almost certain my husband had just as much fun as our 3 wild boys!

I walked outside and found these to fishy characters…needless to say, I was covered in snowballs very quickly.

The O’Hara Family

Mooresville, NC  Family Photography

 

Finally, I’m catching up a little on all my back logged sessions and emails! 🙂 YAY!!!

PS- this is very exciting news for most of you…I am going to sit down today and FINALLY create a photography facebook page. {get pumped!} this is a super gynormous deal for me, so wish me luck!!! And be on the look out!! xo

now, on to this irresistibly cute family….

I have been so excited for a while to finally get my hands on this little Stella…I watched through facebook her homecoming from the hospital and her weekly snapshots. Each one a little more hair, a new bow and a more precious little girl– if that’s possible. Meghan and her husband Micheal live in Columbia, SC so I am even more honored to be able to capture their new little family as it grows! Meghan and I went to high school together, so I knew we would have fun! The sad news is…Stella had just started her very first little sickness, and smiles were not so easy to come by. (as they are normally!) Magically towards the end we got her excited and she beamed up at us for a few moments! YAY! We did have the most amazing weather, beautiful sun beams to match this beautiful family! Enjoy!!!

The Roan Family

Charlotte, NC  Family & Group Photography

 

A few weeks ago I met the adorable Jessica, she was referred to me through a friend to do her family photos of her new lil nugget and her tiny lil tot man— it went perfectly. Her family is precious and we had such a fun time romping and rolling around their yard and home. A week later she called and asked me to try to make it work for another session in another week…her sweet sister was coming in town with her family.  So, I was blessed to photograph Jessica and her family twice in a few weeks time—it was fantastic. I’m pretty sure if she lived closer, we’d be having wine daily and letting our lil boys frolic. Jessica’s sister, Tiffany, and her sweet family were just as wonderful. They made my “job” {well, if you want to call it that} very easy. They played and I captured every second. They have 2 lil girls that are behaved so perfectly and showed off their fun personalities at the same time. I am so glad we got lots of sparkly shots of the 4 cousins together!! Enjoy!!

The Valentine Family

Charlotte, NC   Family and Lifestyle Photography

I am so lucky to have met yet another incredible family last weekend, the Valentine Family. {such a perfect name for this exciting Valentine’s day!} Jessica, Brandon and lil William welcomed a new member to their family about a month ago- John David.  William and I became best buds by the end of my session, and I could easily slip him into my purse and steal him away to my home! Such a fun family with lots of happy times ahead with these 2 handsome little boys! Hope you enjoy…

lil rockstar Quinn

Denver, NC Children Photography

This little man is quite the ladies man at 5 years old…just check out those sparkly eyes and awesome hair!! Quinn and I had fun horsing around and capturing his best “looks” for his soon to be acting career! He could care less why I was taking his photo, which is my favorite part of boys! Quinn was a blast to chase around and I can’t wait to see what the future holds for this lil man!! Enjoy…

Braelyn Grace

Cornelius, NC  {Children Photography}

I will never forget the day {actually the exact moment} when my best friend & college roommate called me to tell me she was pregnant…I never would have imagined that 6 years later I would be photographing this beautiful blessing completely awestruck. Braelyn entered this world with me in the room next door and I am quite sure I had about the same amount of sleep as her mother, but my world was changed forever. I knew I would love this lil angel as if she were my own, and I did. I do. Braelyn Grace is a photographer’s dream. She is not only the most stunningly beautiful child I have ever seen, she is just as sweet, kind, & brilliant. She is a precious jewel. I would photograph her every day if I had her close by. In other words, she will leave you speechless and wondering why she isn’t famous yet.

Landon {6 months}

Charlotte, NC  Children & Family Photography

The Blackmon Family reminds me every single time I photograph them why I adore photography more by the day.  Every moment is natural, every moment is real, nothing posed, and each image pours out love & respect. Landon has grown so so so BIG since the last time I photographed him…and just as precious as before. Their session is the perfect example of what happens way too often, everything goes wrong…baby naps in the car, wakes up hungry and is miserable outside in the cold—but as you will be able to see, their photos still turned out incredible. Landon was taking in all the scenery instead of laughing at his silly parents & crazy photographer…but his serious face could win contests. honestly. I love photographing these 3 and I hope you can read their story from this preview of their images…real love. enjoy.

Maleena {Hello World}

Cornelius, NC  Newborn Photography

 

Well friends, this is it for 2012…my final session (or so I think, currently). I have tried cutting myself off prior to the 16th of December, but with no luck. But I am so glad I hadn’t stopped yet, this lil Maleena rocked her first photoshoot. She slept like an angel and her big brother and sister got an extra chance to snuggle her. She is 12 days new and is absolutely perfect!!! I had such a great time with her and her family…and I am so happy for them! Welcome to the world of a family of 5!! Enjoy!

 

ps- and no, this won’t be my final post of 2012…I’ll post a few personals before long! 🙂
